You're listening to the Confidence Podcast. Your favorite coaching podcast oozes in with motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take action on your dreams.

On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized Confidence Coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the Internet.

I teach go-getters in life how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey there, it's Trish Blackwell, and you're listening to the Confidence Podcast Episode 550. I love good numbers. That is a good number, and if you divide that by 52, I have been podcasting every Tuesday for the past 10 and a half years, y'all.

That's pretty cool. This week we're talking about how to get more done, but maybe even you might have read the second part of that title,

and how to accelerate your success rate. We are all in such a rush to achieve our goals that we actually slow ourselves down.

And we're going to talk today about some methodology that I use to help me really hack my time, become a time ninja.

Know how I want to create something and achieve things with more ease and faster than expected all the while being patient and un-rushed.

It seems like we're holding opposite spectrums, but there's a beautiful duality between the two.

So in this episode we're going to be talking about the topic of productivity and progress, and I'm going to give you strategies on how to get done more.

How to get more done on what matters to you, because that's the key point, y'all.

We get a lot done, but a lot of it doesn't matter to us. You are either into people's agenda,

slave to your own email inbox, doing what you, quote unquote, think you're supposed to be doing, but you actually haven't done the deep work of reflecting on your life and asking yourself what it is that you want.

And so you're getting lots done, but maybe not what matters to you or you have a lot of going on, you're juggling multiple projects, you're struggling to stay focused, you're doing it all for everyone,

and then the things that do matter the most to you, those are coming in last place of your priorities.

And we just got to switch the paradigm. We got to turn that on its head so that you start feeling better when you get done what matters to you, you feel on top of the world.

And that accelerates your success rate in all other areas, because one of the biggest things that slows people down is overthinking, is indecision, is even that I would even hazard a guess you're wasting an hour, potentially two hours of your workday by not being decisive,

by deliberating between tasks and wondering what you should respond or deciding what should I work on next, should I do this or this, we're wasting massive amounts of time.

And just trusting yourself, making decision, falling through, we indulge in margin, that is unhealthy margin.

And so I'm going to give you some tips today that are really practical to maximize your time and your energy.

We're going to talk a little bit about time blocking and private organization, but also self care and the rhythm of life versus just being methodically scheduled down to the minute.
